Description
E2 wire weight is an individual calibration weight for the range from 1 mg to 500 mg, intended for checking and adjusting laboratory balances. The piece is made from non-magnetizable special steel with a density of 8,0 g/cm³ and is highly corrosion-resistant, supporting reliable use in everyday laboratory conditions. Its wire geometry is characteristic of fine milligram masses and keeps the footprint small on the weighing pan. Each unit is delivered in a plastic box that protects the surface finish during storage and transfer between workstations. Offered by manufacturer Sartorius, this single weight suits quality-control, analytical and research settings that require discrete E2 class references rather than a full set. The article is supplied as 1 pc, with a net weight of 0,030 kg and a gross weight of 0,140 kg. Non-magnetizable construction helps limit magnetic effects that could disturb sensitive weighing results. Together, the material choice, density specification and protective packaging make this wire weight a clear option for laboratories building or extending their milligram calibration inventory.
This article belongs on Balance accessories, calibration & certificates, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Wire Weight 20 mg, OIML E2
What is this article?
Wire Weight 20 mg, OIML E2 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Sartorius for laboratory use. It sits in Balance accessories, calibration & certificates, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
These are the draft shields, the pans, the ionisers, the printers and the calibration certificates that belong to a balance. A certificate states the errors found at stated loads. It does not make a different balance correct.
A balance compares a mass with a standard. An analytical balance reads to 0.1 mg or finer and needs a draft shield and a stable bench. A precision balance is coarser and faster. A platform scale takes a heavier load. The reading is only as good as the calibration chain back to the kilogram, which is why test weights and a certificate exist. A moisture analyser is a balance with a heater: it records the loss of mass as water leaves. The unit of mass is kept by the BIPM, compared across Europe by EURAMET, and accredited by BELAC. NIST publishes the same measurement foundations.
